H&D30: Identical apartments, two different personalities, Feb-Mar 1988 issue of Home & Decor

1/8

Home & Decor Singapore pays tribute to three decades of design with a look back on its most interesting features over the years.

This week we feature two three-bedroom apartments in Ardmore Park that are adjacent to each other, but with two completely different looks.

2/8

The owners of the first home are an American expat couple, who brought along their Early American antique bed and armchairs as well as some reproductions and accessories.

3/8

In this well-coordinated collection, the soft blue of the upholstery acted as a perfect foil.

4/8

Accessories have also been carefully selected to match the look, so that one feels this is a home in New England rather than cosmopolitan Singapore.

5/8

Cool grey with dashes of cherry red and black form the main colour scheme of the living room of this bachelor apartment.

6/8

The kitchen with its breakfast nook looks romantic with its see-through day curtains and Vienna chairs.

8/8

The kitchen has a pair of Italian contemporary chairs in a yellow lacquer finish. Geometrical patterned curtains make a strong statement compared to the adjacent apartment with its feminine look.
